When my daughter was a teenager, she once said, “You don’t have any normal friends, do you”? She was right but she was also a kid. You learn who real friends are quickly. Personality quirks become less important over time.
Even as a kid, I was always the defender of the underdog. Someone once told me I should be a defense attorney because I was always negotiating for someone’s rights. In junior high there were three incidents. One of my girlfriends had physical deformities and kids can be cruel. One day when she was absent, I asked the teacher if I could address the class. I talked to them about treating others with kindness.
Another time, a boy came to our house late at night after being stabbed. His mother locked the kids out of the house when she was gone. At the time, we didn’t know about child protective services. I asked my parents if he could sleep on the couch. We bandaged his arm with cloth as best we could.
I invited a boy from a children’s group home to church. I was upset when other kids were chastising him for riding his bike on church property and were making fun of him. I told them I had invited him. I was always befriending the friendless.
I started singing at a men’s rescue mission in fifth grade. Little did I know that thirty years later I would have a ministry holding services and singing at a men’s mission. It was my most fulfilling time.
The people in my path have always been a little different. After moving on from a low income area for forty years, I ended up working with the same population. I have never been wealthy, although I would welcome it. I suspect though that even if I was, you would still find me at the clearance rack and the dollar menu. So, if you happen to pass my way, you’re welcome to join us. We may not be in first class seating but there will be laughter, smiles and singing. We’ll save you a hot dog. The combo is only a dollar and a half and the condiments are free.
Everyone is popular when wealth, beauty or social status is abundant but when the fade, a warm heart is better than a cool spirit. You will be welcome at our table. Just pull up a chair.

When everything use to become so harsh , trapping myself inside, haunting my very own mind , holding an encumbrance of the million years, hurt myself with every tear . I cried an sea. Well I am penning this simply to make everything obvious n let you know everything I wanna say,,
For whatever reason you may make this pen roll lower, probably the most truthful truth within this world,,, is the fact that in some way you touched me n you touched my soul ,, you’ve made me at least feel whole,, n inside your situation I did not understand what continues to be missing ,, till I felt you there. Being available within this existence,, isn’t as simple as we once thought,, but to really make it through just keep the spirit up,,, you’ll have a lot in so doing n produce just as much,, cuz I rise whenever you rise ,, n I am offer the floor when you’re.
There’s this quote I like,
“If you are alone, I’m going to be your shadow. If you wish to cry, I’m going to be your shoulder. If you prefer a hug, I’m going to be your pillow. If you want to be at liberty, I’m going to be your smile. But anytime you’ll need a friend, I’ll you need to be me.”
I shouldn’t reach it can,, and I apologize should you not either,, however i realize that It affects you,, n it affects me just as much.
Well , wanted you to definitely realize that in your soul,, I’ve found the best shadow ever,, the most warm shoulder, the cuddliest pillow, n the cleverest smile, and its not necessary to test difficult to be individuals things. Cuz they’re within the person you’re really. Whenever you be genuine ,, you may be other things within this world,, you may be a mountain standing sturdy . you may be a an angel sent previously mentioned . you’ll naturally give ,, you’ll easily love ,, without any stress or perhaps considering it. There’s a vibrant door immediately ,, its just awaiting you to spread out it.
You are my lil angel , my toy, my everything . you’re as being a gemstone stone whom I cherish so near to me. I anticipate seeing you everyday, as seeing you completes me. You wouldn’t know how much you mean in my experience . n just how much I want you within my existence. . I wunna help you smile from the foot of your heart, If only I forces you to more happy than ever before.
You’re friendship is among the couple of which are really true, I really hope it doesn’t burglary two, you’ve made my existence worth living, it is true when Irrrve never meat you, today I wouldn’t come alive.
I’ve this small problem, I remember when i said this quote would go to you, “The toughest part about being buddies, is loving you a lot.Inch”
I truly meant it after i stated therefore , ILYSFM! Its turning out to be a poor amount.<3
You deserve much better than what you are giving yourself. If it was in my hands, I'd give you my heart, I'd give you my whole life. N if you ever see me down , just put this in mind, A word from you means so much more than a million others. And if you ever notice that Im in a bad mood, just smile n laugh n be happy, cuz that what lifts me up.
You’re my other half, that I would never want to hurt, I know that I do sometimes , and I'm sorry about that. I just hope that you've got no worries when I'm with you,, cuz I'd do the impossible to keep you moving on.
I want you to know that whatever ever bothers you.. I'm here for you in every step of the way. If you need a shoulder to cry on.. I'm here. I need you to know that you're a special person to me , n to the whole world. You just know how to turn that pain into a smile, and all the rains that pour, into a shelter for me , into a cure.
i'm only 14 so i hope it dsnt sound cheesy,,

And thus agnostic means like…uncertainty of religion/etc which it is only type of ‘unknown’ right?? like … regardless of what details individuals have with science/religion/belief…its just……a nuetral factor right? So…..must i eliminate the lines speaking about paradise? What can be a great way to replace individuals words in order to brighten up this letter a little???

Me is out to both you and your family members. Basically resided nearby, i’d give back a warm and tasty casserole <3 Events like this are tragic, they do however, bring people close together again through lost time, and I'm sure heaven is a much better place to be hanging out at than this place we call earth. Its what we're all waiting for. Or so I hear =]

I’m a softball player and I have observe that only the way people act sometimes, you are able to identify them as softball gamers without prior understanding. Or people on the right track teams (I run track too) you can easily tell, it can be just me however they just Seem like they’d be on the right track. Ballroom dancers, you realize, something about how exactly they walk, you can easily tell.
Shall We Be Held just strange, or would you agree?

And so agnostic means like…uncertainty of religion/etc and that it is just kind of ‘unknown’ right?? like … no matter what facts people have with science/religion/faith…its just……a nuetral thing right?

Shades of Me
I’m night time,
deep and dark
I’m ash,
sleepy and dull
I’m chocolate,
warm and sweet
I’m purple,
elegant and smooth
I’m cerulean,
peaceful and awesome
I’m emerald,
grand and gleaming
I’m lemon,
sunny and vibrant
I’m Clementine,
energetic and vibrant
I’m vermillion,
romantic and desirous
I’m bubble gum,
sexy and cute
I’m ivory,
Completely balanced

Choir
Speeding up towards the music chamber
faster…faster…faster
I silently wait through the door
He welcomes all in
He strikes a chord
A symphony starts
harmonizing, articulating, joining together
The excellence of every sliver of seem
balancing one another
Once we continue, my soul is deeply replacing
delivering a significant quantity of energy
which makes the area quake
Personally i think fluttery
Because the song ceases
I sense the spirit of song inside me
Forever
-Deborah LimI’m Not the individual The Thing Is
I would behave like you’re an unfamiliar person,
however i know you off by heart.
I would behave like I do not would like you,
however i need you forever within my existence.
I would push you aside,
but I wish to grasp onto you for existence.
I would break you apart,
but I’m ever present you enable you to get together again.
I would knock you lower,
but I’ll always assist you to rise support.
I would behave like I personally don’t like you,
but I’ll adore you for eternity.
I would behave like Irrrve never desire to be buddies,
but you’re the main one I want with me at night up until the finish of your time.

Tales
I recieve cozy within my mattress during the night
I’ve the finest key a person might have
A singular
connecting me to a different living being’s world
whether if it is true or otherwise
Personally i think feelings run deep
My thoughts flutters, my soul soars, me heaves
All of a sudden I rewind
simply to confirm it
I match it up adventure with my existence, wanting and being grateful
I just read vivid moments that leap out at me
i quickly understand that I’ve no recourse
Before Yes, it
I must turn off my light
I’ve got a whole medley of books all from Cinderella towards the Last Leaf
They all are a part of who I’m
